We were going to a week ago - there was one interest rate, yesterday - is much higher. "
According to Nikolai Martynov, banks specifically to do so, is not open to funding.
"But some facet should be. There decree, there are registered rates - and in the currency and in rubles "- outraged businessman.
"Banks today - it's untouchable caste, they can not come, - said the head of" Marko ". - But they are, after all, is also participating in this market. I went through all the banks and the National Bank was. And see: the government it - not a decree, the presidential decree - is not an order. "
The businessman said that he sees the execution of the project only if it is done "is the part that is related to the credit policy of our state." He is counting on government intervention in the resolution of the problem.
